Recap on Best Open Source AI Models so far

So after so many models have been released the past year, what are everyone's top models so far? And settings/loras? Since sometimes those can make the difference in results. I am sure most people are wondering this, so I want to collect everyone's thoughts on this, mainly want to hear thoughts from people with 6gb of vram, to 24gb of vram, since people who run heavier models on servers or just by owning an expensive GPU are very rare so experiences would differ a lot from us commoners. I would say to keep this organized, to divide it into different areas. • Best Image to Video Model • Best Video Editing Model • Best T2I Model • Best Image Edit Model I would say those are the main ones most people are wondering about, or are curious about since I keep seeing people use Wan even tho Minimax is out, and LTX being out for a while too, and even more imsge models. I know there probably won't be an all rounder best one, since some have more features than others, or are more customizable since they have been out for a while, but still curious on peoples thoughts on this. Other types of AI models people might want to share that I am personally interested on would be • Best 3D Video Model •Best Voice Cloner/TTS • Best Transcription model (since last I saw there was Qwen 3 ASR, which a lot of people preferred over whisper AI, but maybe there are better ones out now, or better settings and stuff like that) • Best Agentic LLM/translator, from all parameters, as long as its not one that needs multiple or more than 24gb of vram, although I personally have 16gb of vram but extra ram comes in clutch sometimes. submitted by /u/DrCJDU [link] [comments]
